Hi,

After going through the installation guide found here *http:// www.snort.org/docs/setup_guides/Snort_Base_Minimal.pdf* I see my logfiles as well as the alert one created, I see minimal info on BASE but I keep seeing this message: Added 0 alert(s) to the alert cache

That makes me think something didn't go well. I've looked around for a solution to this but no luck yet.

Sorry for the delay in answering, I have been swamped getting everything done so I could attend SANS Bootcamp here in Orlando (anyone else for a BoF?)..... The message "Added 0 alerts to the alert cache" just means that since the last time you refreshed the page, no new alerts have happened. What happens with the alert cache is that as the page is loaded, BASE will cache the alerts into the various DB tables.


So basically your system is working correctly, unless Snort is not seeing things it should?

Hope that helps,
Kevin
